Rob Deglau – Board Chair
Rob, a lifelong resident of North Central, emerged from the inner city to become a devoted community advocate. Graduating from Scott Collegiate in 1976, his roots in the area run deep, having attended Albert School. Over two decades, Rob’s commitment to North Central flourished, evidenced by his three-term tenure as a city Councillor for Regina’s inner city neighborhoods.
With a background as a small business owner and extensive volunteer engagement, Rob possesses a distinctive perspective on community development. His impactful role as Executive Director at the North Central Community Association further cemented his dedication. Equipped with a University Certificate in Community Development, he even shared his insights as a guest lecturer at the University of Regina and SIAST Campuses, focusing on community and neighbourhood economic development.
Rob’s involvement extended to advocacy and collaborative initiatives for social, economic, and housing reform. Upon retiring from the North Central Community Association, he remained active in the community, now serving as Chair of ECN (EnviroCollective Network Inc), a newly established nonprofit. At the helm of the Regina Climate Hub chapter under the Climate Reality Project Canada, Rob empowers citizens to become climate leaders. The Regina Climate Hub strives to unite community, businesses, and government to promote global best practices for achieving climate goals.
